I have found a great deal about various energetic bodies that people possess via experimentation lately. I believe that it is best for others to have a basic guide, even if it will end up making me look like a "Fluff Bunny" due to the extent of it.
First, we have the Ethereal Body
This body is linked directly to the physical body, as well as the physical plane. There are very few direct energy-systems within it, but many energy-channels. This binds it very tightly to the physical, and when either of the two are damaged, the other will mirror the first. This effect allows greater amounts of healing to be done through the Etheric Plane than through the astral.
Projection of this body is usually done by relaxing oneself while nearly asleep, letting the body sleep while the mind is awake, and then trying to move. This will typically move the Ethereal Body rather than the physical body. It can also be done via remote viewing, which is one of the most common uses of this particular body.
I believe psychokinesis is also done through the Ethereal Body, but I have no proof, and no evidence of this.
Second, we have the Astral Body.
Most people here use the Astral Body quite often, though they do not realize it. If you are making a psi-ball, you are simply forming astral material into an orb in an non-controlled section of the Astral Plane. This body contains many energy-systems, and a few energy-channels. This means that it is not bound very tightly to the physical body, and they have very small influence over one another. However, if your Astral Body is damaged, you will find it much harder, or impossible, to do energy manipulation.
Projection of the Astral Body is generally done only partially. When you are scanning for energy around yourself, you are simply looking around with your Astral Body, but only partially aware of it. When working at a distance, you are typically more aware of your astral body, thus explaining why once you get into manipulation of energy near someone else, you begin to sense things easier near them.
Full projection of the Astral Body is still something that I do not have very much information on, so I cannot include much about it. Typically, you begin by reaching outward with the senses of the Astral Body, and shifting your awareness away from the physical, much like letting your physical body fall asleep. As this happens, more and more of your awareness will go into the Astral Body, until eventually, with enough practice, you will end up in a full projection.
Keep in mind that there are several Astral Planes, and thus, the astral body is rarely well-protected. Most people only have themselves protected on one plane, and when they leave it, they are no longer protected, thus thinking that they are projecting into another body. This can be solved with shielding/armoring that is tied into your energy-body in a way that allows it to become part of you. Once this is done, it will flow between planes as you do, and you will remain protected.
In addition to that, remember that many locations on the Astral Planes are under the control of either highly powerful entities, or groups of entities, and they can set restrictions on what can take place in those areas. I do not yet understand how these are created, or enforced, but I do know that they most definitely work.
Third, we have the Mental Body.
The Mental Body is quite odd, and I still have not found out what I would like to about it. However, I will still share what I have found out up until this point. The Mental Body is your main control on the Mental Plane. Everyone has their own Mental Plane within themselves, linked to the collective mental plane of humankind. That in turn, is connected into another group that I cannot name due to lack of a name existing.
I have found that the Mental Plane contains several things. First off - this is where most of the mental blocks occur (rather obvious) and it is also the location of most of your memories. This also includes your ability to communicate telepathically - a direct link between two mental planes/bodies will create the effect that is named telepathy. The Mental Plane is also considered a resource by certain entities that I have seen, and they will not hesitate to get in there and start taking control away from you. The Mental Body can also go to the Mental Plane of someone else, provided they have not blocked you out.
Parting information
There are also many others that lack names, thus I shall allow you to experiment and find those on your own. In addition, as a side-note to healers, you can focus your awareness on the various energetic bodies of someone, and merge them together in your own mind. This allows you to alter energy channels in the Etheric and energy systems in the Astral at the same time, as well as forming better interfacing between the physical, ethereal, and astral bodies.
As well as that, it is possible for someone to have more than one of each type of body from what I have seen/experienced. I have seen a few people with dozens of etheric bodies, and a great number of people with numerous astral bodies. If you become advanced enough, it is even possible to create bodies on each plane, provided you understand the process, have enough energy, and have a non-controlled area to do it in.
